As society becomes more modern, media is continuing to implement more representation of people in films, tv shows, and more. An example of a tv series that demonstrated representation in media is the Chucky series. The Chucky series, released in 2021, has been successful in its representation of people and groups in media.
One notable aspect of the series is its representation of the LGBTQ community. As the director of the "Chucky" series, Don Mancini, is gay, he wanted to incorporate LGBTQ representation into the show. The main character, Jake Wheeler, is an openly gay teenager. People can relate to Jake's character more deeply because "Chucky" includes his sexuality in the story without making him into a stereotype. Another character, Devon Evans, also is an openly gay teenager and has a relationship with Jake. The show demonstrates a range of relationships and situations, which helps make media portrayals of the LGBTQ community more accurate.
Not only does "Chucky" show LGBTQ characters, it also includes racial representation. Devon Evans is a character of color in the show who faces a number of problems. This part of "Chucky" makes the point of recognizing variety clearer.
The show portrays the complexity of relationships between people, going beyond simple representation. It challenges stereotypes associated with certain groups, it portrays characters with depth. By doing this, "Chucky" is an entertaining series and encourages viewers to look at certain topics from a different perspective than the incorrect stereotypes that are commonly associated with them. Ultimately, the reason "Chucky" succeeds in portraying people and their communities is because of its diverse cast and dedication to a realistic plot.
